Did you know that South Korea now has high speed rail? In fact, the country has four different lines in service and plans to build more and have them in place in time for the Winter Olympics coming to Seoul late next year.

How many HSR lines in service in the United States? Zero!

But who knows. Maybe South Korea will become our inspiration and motivation to once more become the innovative, technologically advanced country we used to be. And escape the inferior bonds of a second-rate transportation country.
